Back in the UK now, and the 2 of us are together and camping out in our new house (courtesy of John and Kath who have loaned us a double air mattress – matching pair to our own so we are maintaining out own space, even on the floor!)

I shall be here for 2 weeks hopefully, then off to Taiwan for a week.

Went to the pub last night – good beer, awful smokers.

We have bought a tele now, and a DVD/VCR. Trish can find 24 hr antique shows so far from what I’ve seen.

Also ordered the fridge which will be here Tuesday. Presently all the perishables are stored in our outdoors passage (back to nature?)

The clocks went back last night, so got an extra hour today (we forgot till this morning).

Trish spent most of the afternoon in the garden as we can’t work inside until we get our stuff, including the tools.

She seemed to thoroughly enjoy it though.

We have had a pair of Magpies hanging around – majestic.
